I cross my heart and hope to die

I'm just a girl wearing a mask With a fragile heart of glass I frown all day and cry all night I stand my guard, scream, and fight I wear a bag over my head Try to drown out the things they said My wings slowly heal each and every day Holding my heart with everything I say I'd fast forward life if I could If I want to got to heaven I have to be good I have to be an angel and do not sin To get a chance to say "hello how have you been?" I miss you, your smile so dear How I wish you were still here I wish to see you once again I want to see you my dear friend Let me grow wings so I can fly Or give me a way for this to pass by I want to be at the place where there's not a single tear oh I don’t feel happy here I don’t fit in I don’t belong I don’t want to sing this sad song don't worry I’ll soon leave here to find the memories that were once but no longer clear it'll be so beautiful it will make you want to cry I cross my heart and hope to die...
